Reduction of CO₂ Emissions by Reducing Power Consumption When Using Products
Our Approach
As ICT grows more and more common, we expect there to be an increase in energy demand in proportion to the higher performance and higher-density integration of ICT products. Various countries and regions are also expanding their energy-related regulations for ICT products, and energy efficiency is taking on increasing social importance as a factor in energy label conformance and green procurement requirements.
Here at the Fujitsu Group, we believe that we should work to improve the energy performance of our products during their use, in order to reduce GHG emissions. As such, we will actively implement energy-saving technologies and continue working to further improve the energy efficiency of products. Through these efforts, we will work to promote the development of products that contribute to reduced power consumption when in use.
FY2024 Performance
| Targets under the Fujitsu Group Environmental Action Plan (Stage XI) | FY2024 result |
|---|---|
| Reduce CO₂ emissions due to product power consumption by 10% or more in comparison to FY2020. | Reduced by 42.9% |
Note: In line with the improvement in the accuracy of data collection, we have retroactively adjusted the figures.
Fujitsu Group Environmental Action Plan (Stage XI) Initiatives
Aiming for net-zero GHG emissions for the entire value chain, the Fujitsu Group Environmental Action Plan (Stage XI) has set a target of reducing emissions in FY 2025 by 12.5% or more in comparison to FY 2020. To achieve this target, each unit has been working to improve energy efficiency, etc. of products in the FY2023–FY2025 pipeline. Specifically, we are actively pushing the use of low-power components, aggregating functions to reduce terminal numbers, using high-efficiency power supplies, optimizing power-management controls, reducing the number of components, and implementing eco-friendly devices.
Attained a 42.9% Reduction in CO₂ Emissions in Comparison to FY2020
In FY2024, as a result of applying and expanding energy-saving technologies in our servers, storage, PCs, and network devices, we were able to attain a 42.9% reduction in CO₂ emissions in comparison to FY2020.
Working Toward Our Targets
In order to achieve net-zero GHS emissions across the entire value chain, each unit will work to further develop products with improved energy efficiency. We will also implement advanced energy-saving technologies and expand their application to our products, as part of our cross-Group policy to improve energy efficiency.
Looking toward the future, we aim to push the development of advanced eco-friendly devices, which will contribute to revolutionary improvements in energy efficiency, and aim for the products to be applied at an early stage.
Initiatives in FY2024
1FINITY T900: Achieving Both High-Capacity, Long-Distance Transmission and Energy Efficiency
The 1FINITY T900 is a product that brings to market an optical transmission platform capable of ultra-high-capacity, long-distance transmission—up to 1.2 Tbps per optical wavelength, among the highest in the world. Key features include high-capacity transmission enabled by cutting-edge digital coherent technology (up to 1.2 Tbps per wavelength), and extended transmission range through Fujitsu’s proprietary framer technology, delivering a range that is more than four times the distance of other conventional systems.
From an environmental perspective, the adoption of the latest DSP technology enables higher bit rates while reducing power consumption per 100 Gbps of transmission by 60% compared to previous models.
The product also incorporates Fujitsu’s proprietary closed-loop liquid cooling technology, which delivers twice the cooling capacity of traditional air-cooled systems. This enhanced cooling capability helps manage high heat output, contributing to overall energy savings throughout telecom facilities.
Through the deployment of the 1FINITY T900, Fujitsu remains committed to delivering highly reliable, uninterrupted communication services while reducing the environmental impact—creating value for both customers and society.
